As an added bonus being able to update the current zoneinfo as
mentioned here would be nice:

The WO 5.4 versions of the jars listed in the above KBase article
contain zoneinfo.zip files that may not contain the very latest
time zone info. So I would think that the procedure outlined in
this KBase article could be used to update the time zone info.
Granted the java system itself needs its zoneinfo updating also,
as SimpleDateFormatter also gets it wrong on that box, but I'm not
sure how the two relate (i.e., if one takes precedence). Any ideas?
I believe that the zoneinfo.zip files in the various WO jars are
used by JavaFoundation's NSTimeZone class whereas JVM timezone
files are used by the Java TimeZone class. So there's no
relationship between the two in that neither takes precedence;
i.e., they're independent and would both need to be updated if both
NSTimeZone and TimeZone are referenced in your code.
Sorry, I wasn't clear (as I knew that bit). What I meant was that I
assumed that, as I'm seeing the correct behaviour on my development
machine with WO5.3, that I would have thought that by embedding all
system frameworks for 5.3 in the app that the behaviour would
continue to be correct on deployment.
If I can at least get the NS* working as expected I can handle
that until the java system itself is corrected.
I'd make copies of the original WO jars, follow the time zone info
update procedure outlined in the KBase article, and give it a
whirl. The worst that could happen would be that you'd have to
restore the original jar versions.
Yeah, that's not under my control... (but certainly can be fixed), I
was just hoping to not have to rely on the timing of that happening,
pun intended :-)
